Spicy Avocado and Pea Tea Sandwiches

These vegetarian sandwiches from F&W’s Ben Mims feature avocado two ways—mashed and in a chunky salad. Both are tossed with a tangy chile-herb dressing.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp
canola oil

4
small slices of whole-grain bread

pepper

salt

0.5
Hass avocado, diced

1
red Thai chile, seeded and minced

0.5 tsp
finely chopped tarragon, plus more for garnish

1 tsp
finely chopped mint, plus more for garnish

1 Tbsp
fresh lime juice

finely grated zest of 1/2 lime

2 Tbsp
thawed frozen peas

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk the canola oil with the lime zest and juice, the 1 teaspoon of mint, 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon and the chile. Stir in the avocado, season with salt and pepper and let stand for 10 minutes.

Mash one-third of the marinated avocado on the bread. Stir the peas into the remaining avocado and spoon on top of the sandwiches. Garnish with finely chopped mint and tarragon.
